On the to etlehe marched off On- the road to.Buenos Ayres by Rome Of Reduction, and took a position in trout of Re- cilletiUit on' the t st July ; his brigade was always at 'the distance Of tour or five miles from Brigadier-Ge neral Lutnley's, under the immediate. command of .Major-General Gower; on the ed he received an order to be in yeadinesseto march -at nine o'clock. Before nice General Gower came to him, and it 'VVAS determined ty turn the enemy's position by passing the ClUlt:10 high up. 'The Enemy - was st*.i) on the opposite hank, and after a march of two or three hours, • he saw General Whitelocke'edivision, which he was impresied ewith • the belief was following. - General Crauterd's. division, passed the river, and took possession of some heights about three quarters of a mile- distant from the Ford ; the Enemy 'seemed already, in a state . of contusion, which it was im portant • to take advantage of. Advancing on t .e• road which leads -into the' town by the Coral des Misenari; a shot was fired from . a' gee placed over the Cerel. General 'Gower'. said, we turn the right. .and left flanks, and conceiving this, to be an'order to attack the Enemy, General Craufurd obeyed. - The Enemy 'Soon gave way, treeing twelve pieces of 'artillery behind theta; they were put-Sued for -about three quarters of a mile. General C. theft received 'an order to fall back to the Coral, but as it appeared 'to him to be desirable to follow the. Enemy ieto the . town, he requeeted that General to tallow him to do "so, ,' I telt 'convinced," said 'General Craufurd, " that if the main division under General White lecke ' had been as near as I thotight it might have been, wc'certainly should have hiker) the town teith , ease." 'I had very strong doubts whether we might not have taken it with General Gower's corps, In answer to this message I had so- sent by (;aptein., Squires, I received a second and peremptory order to tall back to the Coral, the General stating at the same time, that: our wounded (which did not exceed six °dicers and thirty men) might be cot wile, the straggling parties of the l Enemy which had beet) ho vering about os. Just at the time I beg - an to retire, I discovered Ilea Genera Luitiley'e brigade had ar rived immediately on my right. Early on the morn ing of the ede General Goseer sent Brigade Major, Roche with a flag of truce ' into the town, with a verbal summons, as. the -Major-General Informed. tan`; and the Brigade-Major returned er con seqtieeeee as 1, understand,' .of a 'desire expressed by General Leticia, that whatever. the Major-Getieral• had to propose might be. done in westing.

I under. stood that he had .received InstruCtions to suinniot) • the town. The only observation I took the liberty of making on the letter was, that as General Linters was accused of breaking the convetiti , •n with General,. Beresford, it did appear to me to he matetiat e in making any such proposals to him, to say something.;', which -might remove any apprehensions which he might entertain with respect to the wanner in width' he.might be treated by us if he should fall into our hands. When Major Ruche retired, Gen. Gower informed me that General Liniers' answer was ex- pressive of a determination to'defend the town. All • this eccurred at noon before, General Whitelocke came up. , Early in the morning of the 4th, inobtie thence to orders - 1 had received, 'I went to .General Whitelocke's quarters, for the purpose of taking his eestrnetioes With respect to the •etteck en the town,' which he had then determinedto make et noon thin' day. After I had read the dispoiition, Gen. White, lecke took me :bride, and said, that .he felt so Much reluctance inadopting a measure; which must be at tended with so great an eitfusion'Of blood, that he had ,determinad to rienttauothersummons to the Sponish Gepend, He showed rue a, letter; and certainlyupUn Wet occasion he did ask MY °Oleic!) of the propriety of sending it. I told him, that in My opinion he had better not , send it that the determination expressed' it) the answer to, the first sununtinte, and . the Whole of the Enemy's conductsince,. induced the to be lieYe that the letter would produce no good effeele and that they would rather consider it as betraying a want of competence on our , yart. This was :the exact substance of our. conversation ; which tertni e mod with the, General's expressing a determination to send Captain W hittinghatu, with the letter. The disposition was afterwards read and explained on the plan, to Cammending Officers of Brigades. I did not understand, truth any thing that passed, that either myself or the - other Brigadieri were celled there to'give their opinipn upon the propriety of the disposititee but for the :purpose of bei macro ac qUainted with the detail of it. Mr. White, Who. shad resided a' considereble time at BuepOS AYethe gave us, some information, which we afterwerde found to be perfeetly correa, reseeeling the dispo sitions and defensive arrangements which thelnemy had wedeln the town since the evening of theed. A' part of, the order of attack Was, that the columns were te , be provided with tools end impleMents for brakingpoop houses ; but 1 really believe it was ituposswie for this order to be obeyed to any extent, for the tools could not be .proCered in a soffit...tette quantity. , On the 4th July, Mr. White told me, and seve ral other Officers, ire Gen. Whiteloeke'e room, that he was tuformed•hy.peoele who' had lately lett the tpwie that the Enemy had .. etreugly teur e eee e e fleeie;elves, and• placed heavy ; canntre the sir e e 6; keeine hot) the great tit:l;lre, where he' 611:7 ev!itrilted the principal part S. his foes,;.

I thought so at t r oe.time, because during the r ,greater part of 'the march on the 52 d, we had seer-in the field what conceived to be the bulk of the enemy's forces in 'notion. •By our movement, and what we observed' of theirs; - it was evident • we had turned their original - position,ond that they were eneged in attempting to change their front, and take up a new position on that side the' town ; and there certainly therefore was every reason to believe we had defeated a con siderable division of th it army : during this move ment they were. not prepared for the defence of the interior 01-the town on that side. I was afterwards informed by a Spanish Officer, that we should have been in the town before the greater part .of their army. • Examined ty the Court. Q. Do you know the part of the army • Gen. Whitelocke allotted fur his station during theattack on the town on the sth July. A. I had some conversation with Gen.

After - explaining some particular* that took plate' before the 4th, he said , that on -the morning of that clay he went to head quarters, when General. Whiteloclm tied his intentions with respett to the assault on the town ott that day . ; stating'the bad wotiierohe situation' of the troops expo,ed, to 'an inclement season, and in great want of provisions, induced him to think of assaulting the town, in preference to any other mode; the Spanish General having refused to listen. to terms. I:m.lLuther particulars and detail he referred us to General Gower, who then proceeded 'to pOiut out in the map his plan of attack, and as many as could sat down to copy it. I ventured to ask what was to be,done incase we met With greater oppoSi 7 lion than we had reason to expea, or could well op ,pe!tei I was told that was particularly answered by the' orders : we were to place ourselves as. far in'advance as we could, taking care-to possess our . selves of the houses- an our left, in preference to those on our right;leatt we should . be exposed tnthe fire of 'obit • own guns.. .Sir SEIM tlei Arbirlty itt . .- rived,.. nod. in consequence... Ail his being so late,. a dis'ciassion took place, whether it was possible the attack could be made at twelveo'clock. that day. It was soon decided that it should not take place until • the next morning. Before we left head-quarters, General Whitelocke desired me to send tin My .Bri gade-Majoi', in ordjer that he might go-301111m the town with a =unions,. u hopes .of saving an ef- Susion of blood, which mist be expeacd when the assault took place,. • Brigadier-General Lumley then went into some farther particulars relative to the , advance of the. troops.—He said that on the morning of, the Lid, he had received orders to March, but that by that time the brigade had consumed all the provisions,. and appeared extremely:exhausted.' Q. Was the station in which General Whitelocke was to he round during the ;muck on the sth 'illy, notified to ate General and other Officers commanding divisions?,, A. blot to my recollection that I have var heard of. .12. Was the place or retreat, in case of failure, pointed out to the General. or other Officers cointrianding divisions ? A. I never heard of any such place being appointed. Q. You, have said that it was completely dark when you joined Gcacrais Crautind's corps on the 2d, and that your ruen were eshaustcd. w hen they came up. as your brigade, at the time. of your junelion, in a condition to support an initnediate attack on the town, if made by General Crau lard's brigade, or was there sufficient time ter it? A. It is 1111pm:411)1v ty *tty I'olo the further exertions the spirits of such men wouhl have enabled them tO mike. By that tittle they were much exhausted.

The General approved, of the idea, and requested I Would make out draft of one. :fleafterwards appioved of but thought it advisable to delay any summons till he should appear before the town.
